Cognitive scientist and UC Irvine professor Donald Hoffman, author of The Case Against Reality, presents mathematical evidence from evolutionary game theory that the probability any organism has ever perceived reality as it truly is equals zero. Hoffman introduces the Trace Logic mathematical model of consciousness and argues that brains are perceptual interfaces rendered by a single universal consciousness, that spacetime falls apart at the Planck scale, and that consciousness, not neural activity, is the fundamental nature of reality.

So my take: We could have sooo much beyond our understanding, but we are here. Life is what we should enjoy. Dont let emotions take the best of you. Its just emotions. No one else knows your story like you do..stop playing it in your head. Live now, live for the moment. We are capable of doing things that we think we can't. Don't let age stop you. Remember this is the oldest you've ever been and the youngest you'll ever be. Enjoy life and let go of the negative.
This like Eckhart Tolle’s view on things.
This guy seems very cool and very smart. However, his theory seems so far out it seems like no normal person could take this seriously. Evolution dormant shape is to see the world correctly? How then could we successfully navigate through the world if we have been shaped to NOT see reality. Common sense and our intuitive understanding of the world contradicts this view strongly.
In the stillness peace beyond understanding, no feeling of time, feeling of unlimited space, no good or bad, feeling of love. Feeling it’s what we r so it’s fun to just play
I'm curious to know what Donald Hoffman thinks is happening to our core consciousness when our avatar is asleep or dreaming. Considering the time we spend asleep and looking logistically at the parallels with modern computers, I feel that there is a definite purpose for this down-time. Are there programs, for lack of a better word, being uploaded to assist or pre-determine the next avatar move?
Pov : Only in America. As a European Nah its what we pay for its a newxworld online ,reality is still reality they both just met in the middle
You can call it any world… it is real for me.
Transcend all thoughts. ✨🙌🏼✨
This guy changed my life so much. Many of the things I have been going around thinking and feeling about life, time, space, and the nature of the universe, are really boiled down to an avatar in GTA. This makes so much sense to me and I live by it.
An Interesting perspective.
If you've ever played around with energy healing and/or reality shifting or even manifesting you will observe some surprising things. "Reality" is much more than we've been led to believe.
Evolution is a pseudoscience
True to some extent, however, we do know that something doesn't exist unless observed or measured and we do know about quantum entanglement. So we work with the things that are proven to be true… whether quantum mechanics requires a conscious being or not doesn't make it wrong. It's still true! So we work with what we know.
We know that nothing is truely solid! Obviously…
We can argue if this universe is a simulation or not, depending upon the definition of simulation we use, yes. But its still a form of simulation or something similar which needs to be redefined. A form of existence in a computer interface… for instance, which is not subject to the speed of light at the smallest level.
We are living in a computer generated dream world of enormous advancement, so we're living in a future timeline as we don't currently have that technology, or as bill hicks put it "your life is a dream, and you are the imagination of yourself"
Listening again…and had the thought, since I'm creating and authoring, rendering on the fly, what does Don have to share about me Listening to this wonderful conversation between two avatars? What's happening? I'm learning alot and will likely listen several more time to remember the learning.
I highly recommend listening to this followed by the recent Sadhguru upload. Or vice versa 🤯
When we go consistently to Silence ideas drop in! Things you'd never "think" of…leading you to a life you never imagined. ❤
Please interview Jean Pierre Garnier Malet and Jean Pierre Petit.
1:06:00 poweful words Dr Hoffman, overall brilliant exchange, gentleman. Thank you for your insights. I took a lot away from this. ✅️💯
Ok before watching i need to say this:))) Our reality is just a part of reality, like the faces of a cube , which are not the cube but are part of it.
If you ask: what did you do yesterday ? And i answer: Nothing, just went to work. It doesn't mean i did nothing but we tend to put in the light what we appreciate as being important. Maybe we do the same with reality. Why to see something that doesn't help you? I understand we have limitations i don t yet understand if they are set-up already or we set up ourselves like this like the psihologic efect when we don t want to "see" something, to keep in mind something , we just move our attention from it. It doesn't disappear in reality reality just in yoir reality. So yes, in this case your reality becomes mostly an illusion than a reality…. now let s see the podcast
I have proved that and much more mathematically
The wonderful conversation, 👌 👏
Leave mdma
Yup I see that Simulation.
I'm sure your co-workers Chetan Prakash and Manish Singh are familiar with the elements of India Philosophy. I mean how else can one talk about "letting go of thought", "the space without thought", etc. If you can really experience that "silent awareness" Donald and "let go of thought" [like that depends on your will] then you are an accomplished yogin. You don't really need to prove it mathematically.
"Arrogance is a failure to recognize who you are".
Words to live by. My respect for Donald Hoffman increases all the time.
They are so close. I'm vibrating in 5d. I experience 3d at the same time 😊. We are getting there. Science can describe it but we don't need dmt. We can get there naturally by elevating our vibratory state. We are creating our reality. All you have to do is be on a level of knowing that. Watch things change before your eyes like magic. I knew something interesting was going on when i was "not seeing" things that "were there". Kind of a backwards "hallucination ".
Being fit is part of a greater fitness, one where we need more human vessels to come back to life in and continue the simulation.
Unfortunately you didn't answer the question around 40 – 42min about what is consciousness. You answered what you do with your consciousness or how you deal with it but not what is is.
The discussion around 1:04:00 on developmental trauma is amazing!
@1:02:50 💥
I love you.
But we are in reality
I had to get to base Real reality
Why
Because people were getting so lost in meta verse and all kinds of stuff.
The reason why tech was created was to rescue people from trauma.
Nobody can handle more than human perception… we are DESIGNED like that for a reason.
Evolution takes a very long time
So humanity was highjumped and fast tracked. Truth is ascribed as perception… meaning its just what you think it is.
Thank you 🙏❤️
